As a Kobe hater, he was actually teammates with Kobe!

Chapter 8 Kobe gnashed his teeth!

As the game entered the final quarter, the Lakers, holding a 10-point lead, did not take it lightly and sent out the team's strongest lineup.

Zhou Ze appeared on the court with Kobe and Odom.

On the offensive end, Zhou Ze was still standing outside the three-point line. Looking at Kenyon Martin, who had scored 6 points, 3 rebounds, and 1 block tonight, Zhou Ze couldn't help but tease, "Brother, all your stats tonight combined are not as high as mine."

Beastial center Kenyon Martin rolled his eyes speechlessly. He wanted to refute but didn't know how to start.

After all, what Zhou Ze said was true.

前三节周泽13投7中，三分球9投4中，拿到了18分外加2篮板1助攻。

I average 7.3 rebounds per game, but I have only got 3 rebounds so far.

There was no way. The rookie in front of him pulled him out of the three-point line and had no way to return to the basket in time to fight for the rebound.

There are also high-caliber players in the league, such as his teammate in the Nets period, "Van Horn", who is known as the second generation of Big Bird.

But he is completely different from Zhou Ze. Zhou Ze can not only shoot from beyond the three-point line, but also quickly cut to the basket. He has to concentrate at all times to prevent him from cutting quickly.

Compared with ordinary high-altitude turrets, Zhou Ze, who has excellent athletic ability, can make good cuts and create good offensive opportunities.

Or cut to the basket and dunk on the empty basket.

Or create a mismatch with the outside players after cutting.

But unfortunately, Zhou Ze's finishing ability at the basket is relatively weak. Although he can use his strong body to squeeze through the defense, he always misses the shot when he tries to shoot through the defender.

Simply put, if Zhou Ze cannot dunk directly after cutting to the basket or cause the defensive player to foul, he will most likely miss the shot.

...

Zhou Ze had three beautiful open cuts in the fourth quarter. When Kenyon Martin stepped out to help defend and left, Zhou Ze seized the opportunity and cut to the basket.

1 time, it was a direct alley-oop dunk.

On two occasions, it caused the Nuggets' outside players to switch defense.

Near the reasonable collision area under the basket, Zhou Ze, who is 206cm tall barefoot and weighs 113kg, faced Carmelo Anthony, who is 201cm tall. In this small mismatch opportunity, Zhou Ze used all his strength to push him away and then missed the shot.

As a strong forward, Zhou Ze pushed Carmelo Anthony away but failed to put the basketball in, which is understandable.

But facing Andre Miller, the 191cm tall point guard, Zhou Ze still didn't let him in.

This made Kobe, who was also present, very angry.

"shit!"

"Such a good opportunity wasted again."

After Zhou Ze missed the shot, Kobe's fierce gaze seemed to want to tear it to pieces.

Although Zhou Ze has the strength of a No. 5 player and can push away defenders to create shooting opportunities, his poor footwork does not allow him to get close to the basket, and his mediocre finishing touch makes it difficult for him to complete a soft finish after confrontation.

Looking at Kobe's grinning face, Zhou Ze, who was thick-skinned enough, turned a blind eye.

But soon, Kobe's resentment towards Zhou Ze dissipated.

During the Lakers' offensive round, Kobe was double-teamed by the Nuggets and his teammates were unable to pass the ball to him. As the 24 seconds were about to expire, the Denver Nuggets quickly rotated their defense, trying to force Odom to shoot.

At this time, Zhou Ze suddenly ran from the right corner to the top of the arc and received the ball in the last 2 seconds. This time, Kenyon Martin followed.

Kenyon Martin directly stuck close to Zhou Ze and raised his hands to block his shot.

At this time, Zhou Ze used his left foot as the axis, turned his body to the right and back, and after receiving the ball, he turned around and shot a three-pointer.

Although Kenyon Martin also jumped up, with his fast bounce speed and good arm span, he could easily interfere with Zhou Ze's jump shot. However, Zhou Ze turned around and shot, and with his body leaning back, he directly misaligned his position with Kenyon Martin, creating ample space for shooting.

"what?"

"this..."

"This rookie is really crazy!"

At this time, not only the Lakers home fans, but also the players and coaching staff of the Denver Nuggets were the same.

The basketball passed over Kenyon Martin's fingers and, with a "bang," hit the backboard and went into the net.

Zhou Ze hit his fifth three-pointer of the game.

10 out of 5 shots!

Super high three-point shooting percentage!

Of course, in the eyes of many people, Zhou Ze was just lucky and had a meal of dumplings.

In fact...it is true.

Zhou Ze's touch was indeed good tonight, and his opponents did not take his three-point shooting ability seriously.

As for the turnaround shot outside the three-point line, although the shooting rhythm is not comfortable, but with the buff bonus of [Catch and Shooter (Bronze)] and [Three-Point Agent (Bronze)], the three-point attribute +10, the hit rate will not drop too much, and it is only slightly worse than Griffin's three-point ability [94] in his peak period.

Regarding this point, Zhou Ze has experimented many times during the Lakers' team training.

For this reason, when Zhou Ze, an inside player, chose to turn around and shoot a three-pointer, the Lakers players on the court were only slightly surprised.

Although the turnaround shot from outside the three-point line cannot become a conventional weapon at the current stage, it can be a means of "hard solution".

"Mr. Phil, this kid Zhou actually has such a big heart."

"Yes, Mr. Phil, a lot of Lakers fans who were not optimistic about him before the game are now cheering for him."

The coaching staff on the Lakers bench were also very satisfied with Zhou Ze's performance.

Phil Jackson adjusted his glasses and didn't say much, but there was a smile on the corner of his mouth.

The Lakers are currently rebuilding quickly around Kobe, but honestly, if you want to play with such a paranoid person, you need to have a big heart.

For psychologically fragile players, playing with Kobe is undoubtedly a torture.

But players with strong mentality can grow quickly.

...

Halfway through the fourth quarter, the Lakers, holding a 15-point lead and controlling the pace of the game, gradually withdrew their main players after seeing the Denver Nuggets replace their main players one after another.

Zhou Ze withdrew with Kobe.

It’s not that in the coaching staff’s mind, Zhou Ze is now on the same level as Kobe, but that Zhou Ze has physical problems.

Zhou Ze's physical strength is only [90], which is the normal level of a rookie.

Playing for 30 minutes is almost the limit for Zhou Ze at the moment.

The final score between the two sides was fixed at 95:108!

The Lakers won the regular season opener with a 13-point lead, and at the same time, handed the Denver Nuggets two consecutive losses.

The moment after winning the game...

The cold, mechanical electronic sound of the system rang out again in Zhou Ze's mind.
